  getData(x)
}
\arguments{
  \item{x}{an
  \code{\link{methylBase}},\code{\link{methylRaw}} or
  \code{\link{methylDiff}} object}

  data frame for methylation events
}
\description{
  The functions retrieves the table containing methylation
  information from \code{methylKit} Objects. The data
  retrived from this function is of a
  \code{\link{data.frame}}. This is basically containing
  all relevant methylation information per genomic region
  or base.
